Nach der Auflösung des Schweizer Heavy/Thrash-Urgesteins DRIFTER im 2011, gründeten drei der verbliebenen Mitglieder die Band ECHO VOM AATHAL und spielen bis heute in der gleichen Besetzung zusammen:
Gabor Szabo: Gesang, Bass - Peter Wolff: Gitarre, Alphorn - Roland Ribi: Schlagzeug
In der gut eidgenössischen Tradition des Gewalthaufens wird knochentrocken bewährter Altmetal zum Besten gegeben.
Der Bandname wirkt dabei bewusst volkstümelnd, denn Peter Wolff spielt unter der neuen Flagge nicht nur seine Sechssaiter, sondern bläst auch noch ins Alphorn, das zwar traditionell gespielt, aber durch übersteuerte Gitarrenverstärker gejagt wird.
Zusammen mit den deutschen Texten verleiht dies dem eigentlich schnörkellosen Metal ein ziemlich abgefahrenes Gesamtbild.
